Chapter 277: Self-willed, very clever, but prosperous, rich and poor, busy

Tonight, the lights of Yunjing City are bright, and the central axis of the royal road is like a galaxy.

The thick Huodelong Qi passes along the meridian of the central axis, passing through Yongding Gate, Overpass, Zhengyang Bridge, Zhengyang Gate, Daming Gate, Duanmen, Meridian Gate, Jianji Hall, and Zhongji Hall

All the way to the Golden Palace, the most solemn and majestic imperial seat in the center of the entire imperial city - Huangji Palace!

Then follow the dragon-patterned stone carving imperial road in front of the main hall and ascend to three platforms, pass under the emperor's throne, and reach the center of the "Dragon Qi Law Ban" of the entire Chixian Shenzhou.

In the underground palace of Huangji Palace is the core object [Nine Dragon Wall] that suppresses the entire national formation.

now.

Hundreds of huge luminous pearls illuminated the underground palace, and also reflected the lonely figure wearing a white dragon robe, standing alone in front of the [Nine Dragon Wall].

It was Emperor Jianming Zhou Wenrui who stole the Qingyan Mu Delong Scale Clothes.

It can be clearly seen that although he tried his best to maintain a calm face, the fingertips in his sleeves that were pinched and turned white still revealed that he was far from calm at this time.

Just listen to Zhou Wenrui's mouth can't stop mumbling:

"What's going on above the Zhuohe River? Is the [one-eyed stone man] who wants to subvert our country dead?

How did Pei Yulou and Jiang Baimei do things, and why haven't they sent the news back yet?"

February 2 is a crucial day that will determine the future fate of Emperor Jianming.

Today, for the first time, he turned down all government affairs and came here alone early, hoping to get a glimpse of the battle situation above the Zhuo River from the changes in the dragon's energy.

In the [Nine Dragon Wall] in front of Zhou Wenrui, nine jade dragons of different colors are lifelike.

Nine is the extreme number of yang, and five is in the middle.

There are nine states on the earth and nine fields in the sky. The system of the "Nine Five Years" is the system of the emperor.

This Nine Dragon Wall embodies the regulations of the Ninth Five-Year Plan everywhere. The nine dragons are divided into five directions, the dragon-patterned mats, and the wall plastic bricks are all multiples of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

It's a pity that even though Zhou Wenrui has been working hard to revive the dynasty for fifteen years since he came to the throne, the dragon's energy has still been declining year after year.

Just like Wang Yuan said.

As long as the group that should pay taxes the most continues to refuse to hand over the tax burden, and instead all of them are trying to find ways to devour the flesh and blood of the dynasty to strengthen themselves, it is absolutely impossible for the Great Flame to revive.

This paper maker looks very busy and conscientious, but all he does is useless work.

If your efforts are directed in the wrong direction, apart from being able to move yourself, it will be of no use even if you are exhausted.

As of today, four of the divine dragons on the Nine Dragon Wall have completely dimmed, and the fifth and most central yellow dragon has also reached the point where it is barely surviving.

And since this morning, it has been steadily declining little by little, and it is getting closer and closer to the red line at the critical point.

Once the dynasty's dragon energy is not enough to light up the five divine dragons on the Nine Dragons Wall, Zhou Wenrui will no longer be able to support his status as emperor, and the dragon energy center will immediately become in name only.

At that time, the sacred artifact of Sheji will surely be left behind, the world will be in chaos, and heroes will compete for it.

Whether he can still sit on the throne safely depends on whether Pei Yulou and Jiang Baimei can successfully deal with the "One-eyed Stone Man".

"I just hope that you will not betray my trust. If anything goes wrong, don't blame the court for its lack of tolerance for personal affairs!"

He pinched the two edicts in his sleeves with an indifferent expression.

One of them is a reward, the other is killing!

Zhou Wenrui will never trust anyone unconditionally, even if he is bound by a [Covenant and Oath].

Long before the two [Soldiers of War] set off for the expedition, Zhou Wenrui sent experts from the twelve palace guards to keep a close eye on their families to ensure that no one would be missing.

If this job is done well, there will naturally be various rewards and rewards. If they dare to have different intentions, not only will they be killed by the "Dragon Qi Law Ban", but the whole family, young and old, will also be buried with them!

Both [Soldiers of War] are extremely energetic centenarians with flourishing families, thousands of direct bloodlines, and hundreds of great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.

According to common sense, a large family and [Covenant and Oath] combined are enough to extinguish any ambition that is about to arise.

Seeing that the night was getting darker and the dragon's energy was declining, Zhou Wenrui couldn't help but feel more and more anxious.

In the end, he couldn't even maintain his superficial composure. His eyes were slightly red, and while he was pacing, he let out a series of low growls:

"Waste! Waste!

If I had known earlier, I should have withdrawn Xie Tianke, the ‘best swordsman in the world’, from Baiyun Pass, and let the best [soldier] in the world kill the one-eyed stone man!”

Unfortunately, he also knew that these words could only be words.

"The best swordsman in the world" Xie Tianke is also the well-deserved No. 1 [Soldier of Soldiers] in the world. He is responsible for garrisoning Baiyun Pass in the north. This pass is said to connect Baiyun above and control the desert below.

Guarding the throat of the two-thousand-mile northern line of city gates, it always blocks the bloodthirsty enemies from the grasslands.

Because Yunjing City is also the gate to the north of Dayan, the nearest pass to the north is only a few hundred miles away, and it is almost directly facing the fangs of the "Five Naiman Tribes" in Mobei.

The hot winters in recent years have been extremely cold, and the north outside the city gate will only get colder.

Originally, the five tribes of Naiman mainly plowed grass in the autumn and winter seasons, but now it has become a constant raid all year round from morning to night.

Dayan also had to send a [Soldier of War] to guard here all year round.

The same goes for Emperor Zhou Wenrui. As the "Lord of the State", he could not leave the Dragon Qi Center throughout his life and could only stay in the "Dragon Cave" and issue orders.

If not, he would have even wanted to go out with the army in person and witness with his own eyes the fall of the "Wu Sheng Dao" rebels.

However.

Just as midnight was approaching, Zhou Wenrui, who still hadn't waited for the good news, unexpectedly heard a shrill wail coming from his ears.

Groan——!

Suddenly he looked up at the sky.

Relying on the extremely high status of the Lord of the State, he suddenly saw the golden-red dragon of luck entrenched in the sky above the imperial city, raising its head and mourning, with blood all over its body.

Huode Chilong was already in his twilight years and seemed to be dying. At this time, he shrank by nearly 10% in an instant.

puff!

Zhou Wenrui, who was connected to his fate, spit out a large mouthful of blood.

His eyes went black for a while, and he stumbled and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

He tried his best to raise his head and look at the [Nine Dragon Wall] again. The last yellow dragon in the middle, which maintained the nine-five grid, had only a pair of dragon eyes that still maintained a dim light.

"How is it possible? The two [Soldiers of War] were defeated?!"

Zhou Wenrui, whose face turned pale, didn't know.

Because of Jiang Baimei's betrayal, Pei Yulou failed to kill the "One-eyed Stone Man" in time, and even failed to stop the process of "Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate" to split the dynasty's dragon energy.

Finally, relying on Long Shao to "turn the dragon into a dragon", the "fish leaping over the dragon gate" was interrupted midway, so the number of fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs that transformed into dragons this year was half less than in previous years.

Thanks to this, although the Dynasty Golden Dragon suffered heavy damage, it did not fall on the spot.

It also made Zhou Wenrui, who was on the verge of collapse, still have the strength to cry out sadly:

"I am the emperor!"

Unfortunately, the house leaked and it rained all night. Today, February 2, is the time when all parties are united to surround and kill the "big dragon". How can they give him a chance to breathe?

The door to the underground palace burst open.

Two footsteps, one steady and one light, slowly walked down the stone steps, and then a voice that was very familiar to Zhou Wenrui was heard, and he let out a soft sigh in surprise:

"Hey, this old man didn't die on the spot due to the backlash of the dragon's energy? It's really strange!"

He tried his best to raise his head and used the light of the night pearl to see clearly the person in front. Zhou Wenrui's pupils suddenly shrank and he said in disbelief:

"It's you! Xue Jiexi? Aren't the direct lineage of Wu Yihou Zhou Xinglou already cordoned off the Xue Mansion long ago? How could you appear here?!

Where is Ouchi? Where are my admirals, the nine internal officials?"

Although Wang Yuan always felt that Zhou Wenrui was just a lucky "good guy".

But only a few people in the clan and the central government know that even if a complete idiot is sitting on the dragon chair, Yunjing City is his own "dragon lair"!

In the imperial city, even if the [Xuanhe Camp] dedicated to the royal grandmother Xu Chuanyun is removed.

As well as [Panlong Camp], [Qimenqi], [Qingdao rate], these three elite Taoist soldiers in the thirty-sixth battalion.

Among the twelve eunuchs of the inner court, there are still many powerful eunuchs like Lü Neiguan hidden there. They all belong to the emperor's personal power.

Outside the imperial city, the Beijing camp stationed at Tianzi Ridge on the outskirts of Beijing gathered half of Dayan's military force.

Even if Zhou Wenrui is just a "good guy" who uses tricks to ascend to the throne of God.

However, relying on the two hundred years of accumulation of the Great Yan royal family, we cannot simply use a "puppet emperor" to summarize him.

The imperial city surrounded by nine palaces is undoubtedly a dragon's pool and a tiger's den to outsiders.

What's more, at this time, the city defense of Yunjing City was handed over by Zhou Wenrui to Wu Yihou Zhou Xinglou, who was born in the clan and was raised by the Zhou family's grandmother.

The defense of the imperial city was handed over to Wei Gongliang, the nine-door internal officer who was the admiral, the Grand Eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor, and the pinnacle of the Fourth Realm [Military Lord].

No matter how powerful Xue Dang is, Zhou Wenrui, who holds this power in his hands, is confident that he can eradicate him at any time. It is just a question of how much price he is willing to pay.

The place where I thought there should be the least problem turned out to be the most fatal flaw.

Hearing this, Xue Jiexi laughed:
